Impoundment has become a
big word on the national scene in
recent days It refers to the
President’s refusal to spend
money that Congress has ap
propriated.
Some politicians are even
saying that the President’s im
poundment of funds is a serious
constitutional crisis While there
are some constitutional issues
involved * crisis is not as
serious as mtrch of the talk would
seem to-Indicate
Presidents ever since Thomas
Jefferson have refused to spend
' jme of the money that Congress
approved President Johnson
withheld money - primarily that
in the Highway Trust Fund - in
the name of controlling inflation
At that time there were
Congressmen who were unhappy
about roads not getting built, but
there was no suggestion that the
impoundment was a con
stitutional crises
In fact, some of the same
politicians who are getting the
biggest headlines about the so
called constitutional crisis today
are the same men who called the
Johnson impoundment good,
sound economic practice
Therefore, we can assume that
there is a good bit of politics in
the present impoundment issue
However, that should not blind us
to the serious conditions that
have led to the President’s
refusal to spend certain money
The reason that money is being
impounded is because Congress
has overspent If the President
released the $l2 million he is now
holding, it would increase the
deficit and fuel inflation
It is also a fact of American
political history that Congress
often appropriates money with
the hope that the President will
somehow manage not to spend
part of it If this had not happened
over the years, the waste of
public money would be even
worse than it has been
What must be done to remedy
(he situation is more than
complain about the impoundment
orocess Congress must do
something about its spending
habit It must begin to exercise
some responsibility by ap
propnating only that money
which the Nation can afford to
spend

changes in the budgeting and
appropriations process to make
sure that these things get done In
Britain, for instance, the budget
is considered as a whole and not
in parts as we do in the Congress
The whole budget is either voted
up or down meaning that
Parliament is constantly working
with one overall budget figure
rather than with fifteen to twenty
separate budget items Perhaps
Congress could consider this
procedure to get a grip on our
budget
We also may have to revise the
way the committees of
Congress consider the budget
There is some talk of forming a
lomt committee to prepare a
congressional budget that would
be considered along side the
budget offered by the President
This would get the Congress back
in the business of determining
national priorities, and that is the
kind of responsibility which is
most needed
